GAME: Where am I?

[Nick S]

It's Lake Margaret, and yes Rob that's correct!

[robl]

next one.

[stu]

I haven't been to this end of the Eastern Arthurs yet but I'm guessing from the top of Luckmans Lead or that kind of area?

[robl]

stubowling is correct (It was an easy one)

[stu]

Next one then...

[Phil]

No idea, but that is an awesome pic!

[PeterJ]

My guess is a view from Mt Gell looking at Hugel on left and Rufus poking up on right

[tomberli]

Kameruka morains, just underneath PB, loking back towards Mount Victoria Cross - an awesome little spot!

[stu]

Tomberli has it, Kameruka Morraine.
This was New Years Eve day last year, very, very hot & very little water.
The signs of the approaching front (thunder storm) are in the clouds.
Over to you Tomberli...

OK, here we go - shouldn't be all to hard I dont think. So where am I?

Somewhere in out beautiful state

[PeterJ]

How about The Acropolis from out in Pine Valley

[tomberli]

wrong mountain, wrong valley...

[johnw]

View looks vaguely familar but I defintely haven't been to that spot. So a couple of guesses:

1. Mt Olympus from the Cuvier Valley.

2. Below Mt Pelion West.

[ILUVSWTAS]

Likewise I havent been there but Pelion west was also my thoughts John, just couldnt picture where it would be from.....

[PeterJ]

Falling Mt from Lees

[tomberli]

Its not Olympus, its not Pelion West and I'm not at Lee's - but at least you guys got the right park!

Its a magical little spot though that we are at - the picture really doesn't do it justice

[tas-man]

How about southern edge of Cathedral Plateau from one of the clearings in the Never Never?

[tomberli]

No - you're all fairly close but still not quite close enough

[Nick S]

It really does look like Castle Crag from around the DuCane hut area. What about from the clearing I remember seeing from Cathdral Mt.

Are you looking SW from the Mersey Valley a short distance upstream from Lake Rowallan?

[walkinTas]

Are you walking down the Never-never

Well done Nick S - spot on. Its the little clearing on the side of the Mersey. Was one of the most scenic campsites I had yet seen. Unfortunately the weather came in a bit when we were there. Did a round trip to the top of Cathedral and then along the Mersey out to Lees.

Over to you, Nick!

[Nick S]

Thanks tomberli, I remember looking down at that clearing and thinking how perfect it looked as a place to camp. Was it difficult to get to?

Wow, an amazing looking bay Nick! Looks like good diving potential?
Im guessing it's probably from your Birchs inlet trip??

[Nick S]

It's actually not part of the west coast! Certainly looks like it could though

[tomberli]

Not really. There is no track of course but you just follow the Mersey. Its all just the most gorgeous rainforest, lots of fallen trees but almost no thick scrub to stop you. We got there in a (relaxed) day from Junction Lake. Its so cool though when you spend the entire day in the forest without getting any of those views and then you come onto that little clearing and you can see up at the Du Canes and are virtually right underneath the Landslide on Cathedral. Quite impressive - still wonder why there is a clearing there when everything else is thick rainforest.

I love that kind of forest, I remember the part of the track toward the western end of the never never where you walk beside the mersey river. The sun was coming in through all the myrtle beech trees, golden coloured water, fairytale sort of place.. Well I'd like to check that place out sometime

[eggs]

First impression is that you are looking at Rocky Cape probably from the edge of the park on the east side?

[johnw]

Looking towards Anniversary Point from near Sisters Beach. Maybe from the headland above Lee Archer cave?

[Nick S]

Well you're both correct - it's in the Rocky Cape Nat Park.

hmm john you were more specific but eggs was first.
